In my work as a therapist, I guide individuals of all ages and backgrounds toward self-awareness via a holistic, body-mind-spirit search for self. This "inner search" is supported by insight-oriented cognitive re-structuring and the use of strategic behavioral interventions to facilitate change. Providing an atmosphere of serenity and relaxation has proven essential in assisting people who struggle with daily stress. Typically, my adult clients struggle with anxiety, depression, difficulty managing life's demands and parenting challenges. My work also values multicultural themes related to psychological stress due to immigration/acculturation problems and related family issues. I am passionate about helping couples who are dealing with communication and intimacy problems. Making a partnership work requires a daily dynamic of positivity, understanding and tenderness, and my aim is to guide couples in experiencing it for themselves. Couples can expect a fun, although deeply transforming journey! I use Play Therapy, Art Therapy and Mindfulness techniques in my work with clients to facilitate articulation of thoughts and feelings. My background as an artist has solidified my understanding of Art as a powerful tool for therapy, one that engages the creative mind into self awareness and exploration.
